d’Amis": which located artistic installations in 70 privately owned Gent

and international success into an exhibition of this calibre. Since then
he has curated numerous exhibitions of world-acclaim. He also
established Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst S.M.A.K. in Gent – one
of Europe’s most renowned/ prestigious establishment for contemporary
art. From 2002 to the end of 2008 Jan Hoet also transformed MARTa

Using
Hacking as an artistic strategy, their works re-contextualise the
familiar to allow for new readings of established structures and
mechanisms.They have been known to intervene into Londons surveillance
space by hijacking CCTV cameras and replacing the video images with an
invitation to play chess. In early 2013 !Mediengruppe Bitnik sent a
parcel to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuodorian embassy.
The parcel contained a camera which broadcast its journey through the
postal system live on the internet. They call this work a SYSTEM_TEST
and a Live Mail Art Piece.!Mediengruppe Bitniks interventions into
(digital) live media feeds formulate fundamental questions concerning
contemporary issues.

Navid Nuur

‘In-betweenness’
is the most defining characteristic of Navid Nuur’s organic,
synaesthetic practice, with its formal echoes of Minimalism and
Conceptual Art on the one hand and a truly mindblowing sensorial
exoticism on the other.

The term applies to the position of the
artist himself, too: he is always positioned in the middle, aiming to
guide (or to conduct) his transformative processes to maximum impact. On
the level of the works themselves, ‘in-betweenness’ points to the
processual aspects that prevent them from becoming definite, static
objects.

A couple of years ago, Navid has coined the term
‘interimodules’ to describe his spatial works: they are pieces mediating
between thoughts and their materialisation, negotiating the space they 10
occupy and their temporal presence. His works are never static objects,
but organic and alive presence in the space they occupy. They live in
between the viewer and the 'residual space' - as Navid calls abstract
phenomena such as light and air - changing the way the viewer
experiences the surrounding place.

His works will be exhibited
in a solo show at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht in autumn 2013
and have already been shown in major institutions such as Centre
Pompidou, Paris (2013, ongoing exhibition), Institut Néerlandais, Paris
(2013, ongoing exhibition), Parasol unit, London (2013), Kunst Halle
Sankt Gallen (2011), Museion, Bolzano (2011) and Kunsthalle
Fridericianum, Kassel (2009). He participated in the 54th Biennale di
Venezia in 2011 and won the Dutch Royal Prize for Painting that same
year.

His work is the object of many publications, including
four monographic catalogues (the most recent of which accompanies his
2013 show at Parasol Unit, London). He is the author of a number of
artist books and magazines.

Leja Jurišić & Teja Reba

Tandem Jurišić & Reba have been working in the field of interdisciplinary art since 2007.

After
decade of work in performing arts and contemporary dance, with
critically acclaimed projects such as Jurišić’s R’z’R (2005) and Ballet
of Revolt (2012) and Reba's 650 experiences (2011). Jurišić a graduate
in The Science of Law and Reba a student at Arts at the Sorbonne
University in Paris joined forces as a tandem with projects such as
experimental and intervention works: The Cycle, living installation
White Cube/Black Box (in collaboration with Loup Abramovici), dance
piece Between us and durational performance Sofa, of which the former
two gained big critical acclaim and are still touring.

Beside
their author work, they have been working with established
choreographers and theater directors, among others Jurišić: Meg Stuart
(It's not Funny, 2007), Janez Janša (Fake it!, 2008), Sebastijan Horvat
(Utopija I and II, 2009), and Reba: Janez Janša (Life [in progress],
2008 and Monument G II, 2009). Durational performance Sofa premiered at
Scores N°2: What escapes festival at Tanzquartier Wien, 2010 (curated
by Tim Etchels), it was selected in the programme of Festival City of
Woman – International Festival of Contemporary Arts, 2012 (curated by
Mara Vujić), Festival Exodos – International Festival of Contemporary
Performing Arts, 2013 (curated by Tim Etchels) and will be presented at
U3 – Triennale of Contemporary Slovene Arts, 2013 (curated by Nataša
Petrešin – Bachelez). Tandem Jurišić & Reba summarize and develop a
series of experience gained by the artists in their work during these
past years, among others their remarkable reactivity to the given
situation and a special talent for the customs fee for moderation at the
border crossing between the audience and the show. The performance
researches the diverse aspects of dance, body, intimate, work and public
relations between two partakers faced with the certainty of an
impermanent limit.

The
work integrates multiple material supports (sound, space, moving image,
narrative) and customised digital and analogue tools. It explores sound
in relation to space, time and user interaction.It takes art out of the
‘white cube’, inviting immersion and a personal interpretation that is
not restricted by cultural background.

The practice uses
broadcast and physical events as a means of radical theory, as well as
composition methods based on ambiguity, chance, emergent patterns and
particle fields. Topology becomes a vehicle for conceptualisation,
concretisation and symbolic mediation of the work that seeks to merge
the dualism of art and science, micro and macro, the intimate and the
collective.

The work recently featured at Tate Modern, Royal
Academy of Arts, Royal Festival Hall, Venice Biennale, Cannes
International Film Festival, Institute of Contemporary Arts London,
World Architecture Festival, Sydney Opera House, Beijing Architecture
Biennale, Venice Biennale, Kings Place and Vienna Secession.Rubedo are
recipients of industry and arts grants (British Council, UK Govt.
Department of Innovation, Business and Skills, Arts Council, Crafts
Council) and acted as Industry Advisor to Goldsmiths College [Topology
Research Unit] and Industry Partner to the University of the Arts
London.

Their work has been awarded an hors-concours Critics
Selection at the 44th International Film Festival at Cannes, also
contributing to team awards (Oscar, BAFTA, VES, Palme d’or) as well as
patents and the first non-commercial satellite.

High tides (2013) works between relative experience of time and space
and the collective construction of the territory.

Gauthier Leroy

« My work process is an inner voyage left to the vagaries of wandering, like a mental road movie. »

The
territories visited by Gauthier Leroy (b. 1967, lives and works in
Valenciennes) are of all kinds, from American rock ‘n’ roll to the
ashtray, from the Fallingwater House by Franck Lloyd Wright to the comic
book, from the peanut motif to design.

Working with samples, the
artist eschews any notions of a scholarly or popular culture
repertoire, more interested in the signs of a collective memory that he
reinterprets through subjective rewriting with new compositions and new
scenarios. Using a heuristic approach, he attempts to expose the genesis
of daily objects. In keeping with the Arts & Crafts movement,
Gauthier Leroy has developed a practice that subverts mass consumption
products and the cultural industry in order to extract the symbols
contained within them and integrate them into a system, freed from the
productivist cycle and market logic.

By reintegrating craftsmanship mixed with the creation of new fictions, he is effectively “repackaging”.

Bertille Bak

Bertille Bak was born in 1983 in Arras, France - she lives and works in Paris.

She
graduated from the school of Beaux-Art in Paris - Christian Boltanski
studio - in 2007 as well as the Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts
Contemporains in 2008. In 2010 she awarded the Edward Steichen prize,
Luxembourg.

Bertille
Bak's multi-disciplinary practice revolves around the creation of films
addressing the notion of community and identity and evoking a “tribal
adventure” through which she tells stories about the communities she
seeks out. Since her initial experience in 2007 within the mining
community of Barlin in France.

Bak has continued to immerse
herself within micro-societies - sensitive to the situation of these
communities, she appropriates with affection and humour these ethical
systems and popular traditions. If the result of her “infiltrations”
convey the aesthetic of an ethnographical documentary, some picturesque
elements and other incongruities however lead these realistic stories
towards semi-fictional portraits of united singularities.

From
the Polish community of New York to the Din Daeng neighbourhood in
Bangkok or the French convent in Paris, Bak portrays with sensitivity
and humour the broader life within these communities - mixing truths and
falsehoods and playing with how the clichés and fantasies that we have
of these populations resonate with us.

Maria Marshall

She
received a BA from the Wimbledon College of Art in London and later
studied sculpture at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London
and the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva before turning her attention to
video.

Many of Marshall’s video works have featured children in
troubling adult situations. Often, their titles are derived from the
utterances of her children. When I Grow Up I Want To Be a Cooker (1998)
features footage of her son digitally altered so that it appears as
though he is smoking. I should be older than all of you (2000) reveals a
wide-eyed child lying in a box, surrounded by slithering snakes. When
are we there? (2001) is a six-minute loop that winds through the
corridors of a nondescript institutional building, ultimately ending up
in a room in which Marshall herself stands; the camera approaches and
focuses on her skin, which appears to move as though touched by phantom
hands. For Puzzle Fit (2002–03), Marshall taped a group of preadolescent
students, outfitted with microphones, in a disco; images of the
students commingling and dancing appear with subtitles of their gossipy
discussions on a four-part split screen, as 1970s dance music plays in
the background. For 3 Minute Wonder, screened on London’s Channel 4 in
2006, Marshall created three films each consisting of three-minute
deconstructed biographies of her son, her grandmother, and herself.

Marshall
has had solo exhibitions at the Oliver Art Center at the California
College of the Arts in Oakland (2000), Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2002),
and Centre pour l’Image Contemporaine in Geneva (2004), among other
venues.

Her work has been included in several group shows,
including Family at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in
Ridgefield, Connecticut (2002), Casino 2001 at the Stedelijk Museum voor
Actuele Kunst in Ghent (2001), Slow Motion at the Ludwig Forum in
Aachen, Germany (2002), The American Effect at the Whitney Museum of
American Art in New York (2003), and Closed Circuit at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York (2007). Marshall lives and works in London.

Edith Dekyndt

Often
using the simplest of means and with minimal intervention Edith Dekyndt
creates art works which engage with common place forces of nature and
scientific phenomena. Working in an area of two overlapping territories -
physics and aesthetics - Dekyndt’s methodologies do have something akin
to scientific experiments.

However she is less in the pursuit
of decisive evidence or proving a theorem than opening herself up to
unknown outcomes, and to failure as much as success. Similarly, she is
less interested in the universal, and cold objective fact, than in how
her various explorations can engender a more personal, emotional
response.

As a corollary to her many ventures and journeys
(Dekyndt has travelled widely, often making context specific work) she
has developed a body of drawings representing the persistence of time in
a single location. Slowly and repetitively, pencil and ink marks are
applied to paper or canvas until an area is completely filled. This
simple, time consuming, repeated action of the hand transforms the
underlying layer of material to create undulations and buckles giving
the drawing the appearance of something fluid like a rippling curtain or
wavy water. Meditative, and in some ways melancholic too, they are like
monuments to the passing of time.

SUN had her first solo exhibition in 2011,
at the Taipei Contemporary Art Center. Group exhibitions include in
Kaohsiung Monkey Wrenching Art Center (2010), Taipei Hong-gah Arts
Museum (2012), Taipei Artist Village (2012), Ganghwa Arts Center in
Korea (2012), Bangkok Art & Culture Centre in Thailand (2013). Her
new work "The Wormhole in Round Trip History: Anonymous Folks," was part
of the Zhongshan Park Project in Zhangzhou (2013) and Power Station of
Art in Shanghai (2013), both being part of the Shanghai Biennale.

Chieh-jen Chen

Chen Chieh-jenBorn 1960 in Taoyuan, TaiwanLives and works in Taipei, Taiwan

Contemporary
artist from Taiwan. Graduated in Fine-arts and Craft from the
vocational school system. His creative method tends to involve
collaborations with people (multitudes) from different backgrounds.
Through the process of building a film set together, the filming site
becomes a temporary community where atomized individuals can get to know
one another and together they complete the poetic dialectics film in
this field.

Chen has held solo exhibitions at the Taipei Fine
Arts Museum, Redcat art center in Los Angeles, the Museo Nacional Centro
De Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Asia Society and Museum in New York; and
the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris.

Jui-Chung YAO

Graduated
from The National Institute of The Arts (Taipei National University of
the Arts) with a degree in Art Theory. In 1997, he represented Taiwan in
“Facing Faces-Taiwan” at the Venice Biennale and took part in the
International Triennale of Contemporary Art Yokohama in 2005, APT6
(2009), Taipei biennial (2010) and Shanghai biennial (2012).

Also participated in numerous other large international exhibitions. Yao specializes in photography, installation and painting.

The themes of his works are varied, but most importantly they examine the absurdity of the human condition.

Representative
works include his Action Series which explores the question of Taiwan’s
identity in Military take over (1994), subverts modern Chinese
political myths in Recovering Mainland China (1997), and examines
post-colonialism in The World is for All (1997~2000), as well as Long
March-Shifting the Universe (2002).

In recent years, he has
created photo installations, combining the style of “gold and green
landscape” with the superstitions that permeate Taiwanese folklore,
expressing a false and alienated “cold reality” that is specific to
Taiwan. Representative works include the series Celestial Barbarians
(2000), Savage Paradise (2000) and Heaven (2001).Ten years ago, Yao has
assembled all the black-and-white photos of ruins he took in the past
fifteen years, grouped under the themes of Industry, Religious Idols,
Architecture and Military Bases. They reveal the enormous ideological
black hole in Taiwan hidden behind the trends of globalization and
Taiwan’s specific historical background, as a continuation of the main
theme of his work: the absurdity of the historical destiny of humanity.

In
2007 Yao started to create a series of paintings. He appropriates
masterpieces from Chinese art history and recreates them in his own
work, transforming them into his personal history or real stories, in an
attempt to transform grand narratives into the trivial affairs of his
individual life.

Yao intends to usurp so called orthodoxy with
his recreated landscapes. From 2010, Yao organized a photography
workshop called "LSD"(Lost Society Document). He advocates university
students to photograph and survey in their hometowns. Through the way of
field survey, they attempt to draw the outline of “mosquito
houses”(Public Property) and practice the possibility of observing the
society by means of art. His essays have been published in many art
journals and also published several books, including Installation Art in
Taiwan since 1991-2001 (2002), The New Wave of Contemporary Taiwan
Photography Since 1999 (2003), Roam The Ruins of Taiwan (2004),
Performance Art in Taiwan 1978~2004 (2005), A Walk in the Contemporary
Art：Roaming the Rebellious Streets (2005) and Ruined Islands (2007), Yao
Jui-Chung (2008), Beyond humanity (2008), Nebulous light (2009),
Biennial-Hop (2010), "Mirage : Disused Public Property in Taiwan Ⅰ &
Ⅱ"(2010 & 2011).

Osang Gwon

Osang Gwon was born in Korea in 1974. Gwon studied sculpture at Hongik University, Korea.

He
received international attention through his solo exhibition in Arario
Gallery Seoul in 2012, Arario Gallery Cheonan in 2006, Arario Gallery
Beijing and Manchester Art Gallery in 2008.

He has also
participated in numerous group exhibitions, including the Memories of
the Future at Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, Korea in 2010, Manipulating
Reality at the Center of Contemporary Culture Strozzina, Italy in 2009,
and the South American travelling exhibition Peppermint Candy at the
National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea in 2007.

After his
1998 photography-sculpture Deodorant Type series, Gwon Osang took a
major step forward in the concept of photography and sculpture with The
Flat series in 2003.

Gwon's earlier works, Deodorant Type series,
employed the process of taking over 1000 photographs were selected to
create a sculpture. However, the artist's recent works take this process
a step further by borrowing and transforming internet images that have
been taken by others rather than himself. The Flat series features
cut-outs of images that appear most frequently in advertisements, such
ad watches, jewelry and make-up. The pieces of cut-out paper are fixed
with simple wire structure, each becoming an individual sculpture. Then
the installation is photographed into a flat surface, becoming both
photograph and sculpture.

Kijong Zin

“Mom,
was the world black and white long ago?”- it suddenly occurred to me
while watching TV one day that I had asked my mother this question
watching black and white television.

They often say that TV is
an idiot box. It is because television makes people to believe what they
see on TV. Just as I had believed that it was black and white in the
old days, people learn about the outer world through watching
television.

This is why I intended to use television of all
media instead of projection or video. Shocking - it would be when the
audience sees images on TV outside the gallery and then the reality
inside the gallery in real-time. ‘Fake’ and ‘media fabrication’,
actuality and virtual reality, obscure boundaries between the truth and
false, expansion or diminution of an incident, and even a creation of an
affair in the media – this is what I want to work on in the project.

Pawel Bownik

Bownik (b. 1977), photographer, graduate of the Poznań Academy of Fine Arts
(Photography and Multimedia), holder of a scholarship of the Ministry of
Culture and National Heritage (2008).

He also studied
philosophy. His photographical cycles are often developed for many
years, on using wearisome and demanding technologies. Although some of
his work can be read as an interesting anthropological study, his work
is a very important area of image semantics, or reference to the
experiences of historical photographs. Participated in numerous solo and
collective shows e.g.: Dismantling (CK Zamek, Poznan 2013), A few
practical ways to prolong one's life (Zacheta National Art Gallery,
Warszawa 2013), View Point (Museum for Fotografie Huis Marseille,
Amsterdam 2012), E-słodowy (Gallery Starter, Warszawa 2012), Gamers
(Galeria m55, Ateny, 2011), Gamers (Fotofestiwal OUT OF LIFE , Łódź,
2011), Lucim żyje (CSW Toruń 2009).

His works were aquired
by several collections including Museum in Huis Marseille, Amsterdam;
ING Polish Art Fondation. Bownik lives and works in Warsaw.

Zorka Wollny

She is a graduate of the Faculty of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, she has a

PhD
in Visual Arts. She is also a junior lecturer at the Academy of Arts in
Szczecin.Her works function at the boundary between the theatre and
visual arts and are strictly related to the architecture.

She
collaborates – in a director-like mode – with musicians, actors and
dancers and, every time with members of local communities too.She
cooperates with the leading Polish modern art institutions: Zachęta
Gallery, Museum of Art in Łódź, Wyspa Institute of Art, Wroclaw
Contemporary Museum and the Ujazdowski Castle.

In 2007 she
represented Poland at the European artists' exhibition in Brussels. She
has twice held a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture, and has won
the Eugeniusz Geppert Award for her achievements in painting.

In
2009 she was nominated to the Deutsche Bank Award for the best young
artist, and was Artist of the Year of the Arteon art magazine in
2010.The jury wrote in the statement: Zorka Wollny is a worthy successor
of the first wave of artists that emerged in Poland after the great
transformation of political system in 1989. She is an extremely
interesting artist, most important aspects of her work being:
intellectual liveliness, curiosity of the world, openness for
cooperation and uncommon treatment of seemingly trivial subjects.
Therefore, the art of Wollny is so difficult to pigeonhole – the artist
smoothly moves among disciplines, making use of inspirational books.
Moreover, she is devoted to the theatre, dance and music. The contact
with others, conversations and flow of ideas is crucial for Wollny. So
far, the work of Wollny has been categorized as feminist deconstruction
of patriarchal codes of behavior or a criticism of the form of
institution. Such perception of her art, nevertheless, does not do
justice to her individuality and the specific aura that surrounds her.

Apart
from the art exhibitions, she has participated in important musical
festivals (Warsaw Autumn – International Festival of Contemporary Music,
Audio Art Festival in Krakow) as well as theatrical events
(International Ballet Meetings in Łódź, Malta Festival in Poznań). Her
projects have also been presented in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and
the United Kingdom.

Slawomir Pawszak

He
is mainly interested in abstraction, but sometimes, on the contrary, he
experiments with deeply realistic video or installation settings. He is
the co-founder of Warsaw’s A Gallery and is engaged in the plein air
activities of the Billy Gallery, internet gallery and artists
collective.

In 2003-2008, Pawszak studied Painting at the Academy
of Fine Arts, Warsaw. His Master's Degree exhibition was shown at the
Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castel in Warsaw.

He
participated in the Ain’t No Sorry group exhibition at the Warsaw Museum
of Modern Art (2008). In 2012, he had a solo exhibition titled New
Works at BWA Gallery in Zielona Góra, Poland.

Adrien Missika

Born in 1981 in Paris, France, Adrien Missika graduated from ECAL in 2007.

He lives and works in Berlin.

MISSIKA,
while playing with the viewers' expectations and biases, questions in a
subtle way our relation to the world and its representation. He
addresses both media and popular imageries, while paying a particular
attention to the history of photography and the contemporary use of this
media. The photographic image and the video are characterized by their
link to the real. Usually documentary, they are tied to the very
existence of objects, from which they give a direct and immediate print.
Drawing from the registers of artificial scenery, comic books,
science-fiction movies and postcards, Adrien MISSIKA is a great amateur
of architecture and archaeology. His work deploys itself as a permanent
investigation of in-between spaces, between fiction and reality. He
retrieves pictures from his travels and mixes them with the ones he
realizes in the studio, out of models made of basic materials and with
the use of simple lighting. From his interest for movie scenery, ADRIEN
MISSIKA draws lighting and trickery techniques.

He uses the
process of picture making in order to propose to the viewer dream-like
narrative. In the studio, he photographs a polystyrene asteroid which
seems to come out a 50s movie, or a sunset on a plastic sea reminiscent
of Federico Fellini movie tricks. From the modernist architectural
utopias to the conquest of space, from the myths built by the first
studios to science-fiction comic books, our prefabricated dream is here
ironically replayed.

Neil Beloufa

From 2004 to 2009, Neil Beloufa studied visual arts at the Ecole Nationale
Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts
Décoratifs in Paris, at the Cooper Union in New York and at CalArts in
Valencia. Since then his work has been shown internationally in solo and
group exhibitions (David Roberts Foundation, London 2011), Biennales
(Young Artists’ Biennale, Bucharest 2010, and Manifesta 8 in Murcia
2010) as well as at film festivals (Film Festival Oberhausen 2008). For
his work Kempinski he was awarded the ARTE prize for a European short
film at the Oberhausener Short Film Festival 2008, the prize of the
German foreign office for intercultural dialogue at the European Media
Art Festival in Osnabrück in 2008 and the Short Film Grand Prize at the
IndieLisboa Filmfestival 2009. The Kunsthaus Glarus is showing the first
solo exhibition of this artist in an institution.
In his practice Neïl Beloufa demonstrates a persisting interest in
dichotomies; reality and fiction, cause and effect, presence and
absence, all of which he communicates through mediums ranging from
sculpture, video, installation and conceptual photography. Through his
construction of dichotomies Neïl Beloufa is able to deconstruct our
perceived ideas of truth and fantasy, thus posing fantasy as truth. His
works relies on our relations to exoticism, authority, cultural
hierarchies in a wikipedian era he considers hypereel.
Neïl Beloufa himself dubs some of his work as “ethnological sci-fi
documentary”.

Teatro Ojo

Teatro Ojo is an artistic collective from Mexico City founded in 2002.

It
begun its artistic practice raising a question about the different
ways, angles, viewpoints involved in the production of the subjective,
spectatorial gaze.

After working more closely in a theatrical
format during the early years, it has moved to different artistic
practices experimenting fields such as performance art, art
intervention, urban interventionism, installation art, site-specific
art, among others, within the frame of what has been called in recent
years as the expanded theatrical scene.

Teatro Ojo members come
from different academic and artistic disciplines such as architecture,
political science, literature, mathematics, and performing arts.

In
2011, Teatro Ojo won the golden medal in the architecture field in the
Prague's Quadriennal of Performance Design and Space for "Within a
failed state" gathering together works from 2007-2011.

last years they have produced different works with the sponsor of the
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the Instituto Nacional
de Bellas Artes (INBA), and the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las

Joris Van de Moortel

Joris
Van de Moortel seeks and destroys. Working on and on, adding layers to a
consistent oeuvre witch explores all media relevant to what Van de
Moortel is heading on. Though the work reveals a great understanding and
particular view on today’s every day life and society from bottom to
top and back again, like in a consistent loop, ever changing, ever
returning, Van de Moortel claims to work from his stomach, listening to
the moment, the straight adrenaline of performing.

Van de Moortel just returned from a 1 year residence at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, to his Antwerp based home and studio.

Nicolas Provost

Nicolas
Provost's work reflects on the grammar of cinema, the human condition
in our collective film memory and the relation between visual art and
the cinematic experience.

His films provoke both recognition and
alienation and succeed in catching our expectations into an unravelling
game of mystery and abstraction. With manipulations of time, codes and
form, cinematographic and narrative language are sculpted into new
stories.

In 2003 Nicolas Provost (born in Ronse, Belgium) moved
back to Belgium after a 10 years stay in Norway. He now lives and works
in New York.

Solo exhibitions include The Seattle Art Museum,
Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Strasbourg, France, Muziekgebouw
Amsterdam, Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp and Haunch of Venison London
and Berlin. His work has been acquired by major museums including the
Birmingham Museum, SMAK Gent and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Belgium.
His work has earned a long list of awards and screenings at prestigious
festivals including The Sundance Film Festival, The Venice Film
Festival, The Berlinale, The San Sebastian Film Festival and The Locarno
Film Festival.

His critically acclaimed first feature film 'The
Invader' had it's world premiere in competition at the Venice Film
Festival 2011.

Samira Yamin

Samira
Yamin’s work deals primarily with the narrativization and
representation of war through an interrogation of documentary war
photography. Using various techniques -- recontextualization within or
as pattern, seemingly incessant repetition or hand-cut deconstruction --
to sublimate, and ultimately to emphasize, such images, her work
investigates the fraught relationship of war photography to systems of
knowledge production, such as TIME Magazine, as well as to the
individual viewer.

Yamin received an MFA from University of
California, Irvine, and dual BAs in art and sociology from University of
California, Los Angeles. A 2012 Headlands Center for the Arts Artist in
Residence, Yamin’s first solo show, We Will Not Fail, was at the Santa
Monica Museum of Art, and she has a forthcoming two-person exhibition at
the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles.

Rossella Biscotti

Rossella
Biscotti’s artistic oeuvre encompasses videos, photographs and
occasionally sculptures. They often illuminate the history and stories
about people who become a source of reﬂection on individual or
collective identity and memory.

In Biscotti’s art, the starting
point of a work is always a social or political event, possibly one in
the distant past, which the artist encounters e.g. in the form of
documentation or a newspaper snippet and subsequently investigates
meticulously.

Biscotti employs her works to transpose these
found documents in a subtle interplay between concealed or multiple
identities, ﬁction and reality, and overlapping layers of time.

Michal Budny

By
using the simplest tools and materials – predominantly paper and
cardboard – Michal Budny creates formally restrained models not only of
objects, places and situations, but also of phenomena which do not have a
fixed material form, such as voice, memory, rain or a ray of sunlight.
The meticulously constructed tiny objects and sculptures, as well as the
monumental installation or site-specific works by

Budny
function as an echo of the reality and are at the same time a discreet
story about transitoriness, the fading away of the contents with the
paper, empty forms and shapes whose sense is difficult to decipher due
to the passing of time and their removal in space.

Because of
the modesty of his material and the freehand nature of the
constructions, these works seem to be especially close and homely. They
give form and meaning to that which we would previously consider as
empty space. In this sense, Budny's activities are a poetic
interpretation of the architecture around us and the ways in which life
fills it with meaning.

Koenraad Dedobbeleer

Koenraad Dedobbeleer, born in Halle, Belgium - 1975, raised and still living in
Brussels, where he spents an important part of his time with his wife,
the no less than brilliant artist Valérie Mannaerts, and their wonderful
daughter Claude Konrad Mannaerts.

Dedobbeleer is deeply in love with the first but can't help but be amazed by the latter.

He
is an visual artist by profession and remains an amateur publisher, one
time editor and an occasional curator; if asked at certain ones. But
more often that interrogation would lead to jobless, irresponsible, poor
devil, arrogant bastard for an answer. "Ceterum censeo NATO delendam
esse" would nonetheless should be the only sensible response, although
it seems to be beside the question

Horowitz

Thomas Helbig

Thomas Helbig (born 1967 in Rosenheim, Germany) lives and works in Berlin and Munich.

Although
he trained primarily as a painter (Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Munich
and Goldsmiths College, London 1989-1996), Thomas Helbig’s artistic
practice typically incorporates various disciplines, with equal emphasis
on each, including sculpture, drawing and painting, to describe
manifestations of an alternate reality.

As a point of departure
for the production of many of his works, Helbig sourced existing
materials and twee craftworks from flea markets and thrift stores. These
found objects then function as frameworks within which to suspend a
range of painterly gestures and sculpted forms; Helbig energetically
deconstructs and reconstructs the objects, abolishing the original form
and quality of halcyon otherworldliness, to create assemblages within a
new place or parallel world.

The resulting works are strange
hybrids that exist in relation to one another in their mutated states,
while simultaneously contradicting their barely concealed allusion to
the idyllic.

Guillaume Leblon

Born in Lille, France in 1971, Guillaume Leblon lives and works in Paris. He
attended the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts,Lyon, France and graduated

He was awarded a residency at the

Thomas Bogaert

Thomas Bogaert (°1967 Belgium/ lives and works in Ghent) studied animation
film at KASK Gent under the auspices of Raoul Servais, the Belgian
pioneer of animation film.

Among other, his first works of art
consisted of subtle film loops projected on postcards. His fascination
for both the capturing of moving images and the freezing of images in an
object, culminated in a distinct individual oeuvre of drawings,
collages, movies and objects. 'The Superfast Series', a film loop
presented at SMAK Ghent in 2003, is without a doubt one of his most
renown works of art. In this double projection miniature Matchbox cars
tear along on the beat of a compelling soundtrack. It is a trip at the
top of its speed, hip and nostalgic at the same time.

In 2011
Thomas Bogaert presented 'On The Way To The Peak Of Ecstasy' at the
Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Deurle (BE): a movie installation, objects and
an artist book that were inspired by a road trip in California (USA).

Recently the artist traveled to Zermatt (Switzerland) where he made Super8 captions that will inspire a new series of works.

way to full-scale constructions. Sanitary features were titled
according to their function : Urinal (2002), Footbath (2004), Swimming
Pool (2004). In 2006 Meuris published Zoological Classification, an
inventory not just of animals, but significantly of the modes of their
exhibition.

Meuris subsequently built several enclosures,
defined as structures for the display of specific species. Inspired by
the German architect Ernst Neufert’s classic Bauentwurflehre (1936)
about rationalisation through standardisation and prescriptive types in
architecture, his recent work reflects both a fascination with and a
critical stance towards zoo and museum architecture which he sees as
epitomatic of “show society” and the “entertainment industry”. Meuris’
sculptures create both ideal spaces for their imaginary inhabitant and
appear as ultra-modern tools of confinement.

One of the
essential aspects of his work is the discovery and visualisation of the
human tendency to desire, meaning, diffusion and its derivatives, in all
forms of architecture in which language is undoubtedly the dominant
structure. Meuris objectifies human language and its taxonomy; he
communicates this architecture as an abstract spatial datum, thus
revealing its enormous impact. He seems to have found an interesting
answer to our desire for information and communication, in many cases it
is the phobia of assigning a name. The physical form of information has
become the true – because it is tangible – form of communication.

Uri Nir

Uri
Nir's large-scale installations incorporate organic matter, constructed
objects, video and photography. Instilling a sense of ambiguity between
the art object and its location, Nir's work provokes a feeling of
dislocation. His work explores the way that 'form is determined by
matter', a fascination that leads to projects that seemingly submerge
the exhibition space with layers and piles of shifting, borderless
materials, such as sand. In these alternative, almost intangible
landscapes, Nir's pieces investigate the rippling effect of a disturbed
aesthetic.

Masha Yozefpolsky

Masha Yozefpolsky was born in Leningrad. FSU. 1964. She lives and works in
Tel Aviv.
The body of Masha Yozefpolsky’s interdisciplinary work concentrates
mainly on installations, comprising of video-performance, sound, matter,
and reflective poetry.
Her oeuvre is a critical elegy, investigating social, political and
psycho-physical conditions, while dealing with dream realm, memory and
identity. Exploring perceptions of home, dis-placement and
disorientation, the psycho-physical environments that Yozefpolsky
exposes function as mental maps that draw
limitless circular routs of sober urge that resemble a cerebral forest
of nerves emerged in empiric disorientation that undermines any rational
interpretation.

Stela Vasileva

The works of Stela Vasileva include photography, installation, video and
drawings. They are all ‘formal’ investigations into Bulgarian social
realities. The complex apparatus fascinates her. In her works, the
artist transfers the sober objects into abstraction while at the same
time labour as well goes through aesthetic transformation. Stela
Vasileva affords the aesthetical luxury to view labour not socially
critically but contemplatively, like a hypnotic stare at its “natural”
essence. Admitting the endless cycle of labour from a still artistic
position brings more impact than a critical work would do.

Ivan Moudov

Ivan Moudov graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia. By
taking action and risks into the public space he became one of the most
interesting artists of his generation. Dressed up as a Bulgarian traffic
cop he “regulated” the traffic at intersections in Austria and Greece.
Then he made the opposite just a few years later when he blocked two
roundabouts in Austria and Germany with the help of friends (14:13 and 9
Minutes Priority). This attitude of working along the edge of law, the
ability in exploring roles and power relations, and the need to go
beyond the protected confines of the art institutions made him an artist
difficult to categorize. Some people think of Ivan Moudov as a thief,
others - as a manipulator. He had been stealing segments from other
artists’ artworks (Fragments); he faked the opening of a Museum of
Contemporary Art in a train station in Sofia (MUSIZ). Some know him as a
Museum Director; others recognize him as an art collector especially
after he learned the street-wise trick for how to earn money by
destroying coins. With the proceeds he started his own collection (The
Romanian Trick). He doesn’t like to be described through the roles he
has been taking but roles and rules are what he has been investigating.
As a “wine producer” and an artist representing Bulgaria at the Venice
Biennial in 2007, he not only produced his own special wine (Wine for
Opening) but also convinced the curators and distributed it to 63 other
national pavilions to toast during their own official vernissage.

Babak Golkar

Born in the United States, raised in Tehran and having lived between Canada
and the Middle East since 1996, Babak Golkar has developed bodies of
work, which navigate and negotiate the space between cultural and
socio-economical registers. His research-based art practice is centred
on seemingly contradictory forms, shapes and material.
Often engaging syncretic strategies, Golkar juxtaposes several disparate
traditions, asserting an underlying common ground, allowing for an
inclusive approach to multi-layered reading. These strategies are
implemented by exploring the potential of how ideas and forms transform
between diverse contexts and systems and how new forms — and by
extension, new meanings — emerge from re-contextualization.
The results of Golkar’s research and associated practice have been
actively exhibited in local, national and international venues
including: The Victoria and Albert Museum (London), BrotKunsthalle
(Vienna), Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki), Southern
Exposure (Los Angeles) and Sanatorium Project (Istanbul). His upcoming
engagements include participating in a group exhibition at Musée d’Art
moderne de la Ville de Paris and a solo exhibition at West Vancouver
Museum.
Golkar currently lives and works in Vancouver.

Atul Bhalla

b.
1964, IndiaAtul Bhalla has explored the physical, historical,
spiritual, and political significance of water to the urban environment
and population of his city (New Delhi) through artworks that incorporate
sculpture, painting, installation, video, photography, and performance.

In
Immersion, Bhalla uses sand taken directly from the Yamuna River to
make concrete casts of portable water containers. These casts are then
placed in water-filled vitrines, drawing a connection between Delhi’s
historical source for water and the spiritually absent disposable
containers of today. Similarly, in his photographic works of “piaus”
(water spigots)—a public source of drinking water—Bhalla examines water
as both symbol and source of renewal and reexamination.

Bhalla is
particularly concerned about the relationship between the Yamuna and
urban communities. The Yamuna is one of the largest tributaries of the
Ganges River and tens of millions of people depend on its water for
irrigation, and municipal/domestic use. Venerated in Hindu mythology as
the goddess of life, it is also one of the most polluted rivers in the
world. With a focus on pollution and scarcity of water, Yamuna Walk
traces the artist’s five-day walk around the portion of the river that
encircles New Delhi. At times through this journey Bhalla was forced to
climb fences and cross concrete overpasses to continue his quest. These
modern obstacles weave their way into the fabric of rural life—
connecting and hampering its development as well as continuation.

Atul
Bhalla earned his BFA from Delhi University and hisMFA from the School
of Art of Northern Illinois University. His work has been in several
museum exhibitions, most notably in The Newark Museum’s “INDIA: Public
Places, Private Spaces” and the Fotographie Forum Frankfurt’s “Watching
me – Watching India: New Photography from India,” and the Fukuoka Asian
Art Museum Triennial.

Praneet Soi

Praneet Soi (b. 1971, Kolkata, West Bengal, India) currently divides his time between Amsterdam and India.

Soi’s
work spans a wide range of media including painting, drawing, collage,
text, slide-shows and performance-lectures. Literature and film have
influenced his work and narratives. Soi’s exploration of media imagery
led him to experiment with fragmentations and distortions of the human
body and the environment around him.

He is currently working to
create a body of work on the subject of labour using documentation of
small one-man workshops in North Kolkata that he has collected over the
past four years.Praneet Soi participated in the first curated Indian
National Pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale
di Venezia in 2011. The Indian Pavilion, located in the Arsenale,
featured four artists and was curated by Ranjit Hoskote.

Soi’s
work for this pavilion involved a large-scale mural accompanied by a
slide installation, Kumartuli Printer, Notes on Labor part 1 and a

L N Tallur

Tallur L.N. was born in Koteswara, a small Indian village of about 14,000 people, in 1971.

Tallur’s
work represents an amalgamation of influences, ranging from those of
the sheltered, traditional and rural farmlands he grew up on, and those
he encountered and was exposed to during his many later visits to
various foreign countries. Tallur studied art in various institutions,
each of which has helped to shape the way he works today.

In
1996, he received his Bachelor’s degree in painting from the
Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (CAVA) at Mysore University, and
then followed it with a Master’s degree in museology from Maharaja
Sayyajirao University of Baroda in 1998. In 1999, he was awarded a
scholarship from Leeds Metropolitan University in the UK, to complete
another Master’s degree in Contemporary Fine Art Practice. Through
exposure, experimentation and influence, the artist has managed to
create a truly unique artistic vocabulary and style. As a result, each
piece is complex and physically diverse. Tallur’s time at Leeds proved
beneficial to his exploration of medium, material manipulation, and
working on a large scale – all of which are are visible in the works he
creates today. Incorporating a dynamic mix of ideas relating to
politics, culture, tradition, spirituality, technological deterioration
and environmental depletion, the artist’s three-dimensional works
capture the absurdity of every-day village life and the anxiousness that
characterizes contemporary Indian society.

Tallur was also able
to grasp the importance of subtle mannerisms from the esteemed painter
Bhupen Khakhar, after training under him. His work proves to be a
surreal amalgamation of Indian signs, symbols and traditions held close
to the heart in the country’s rural areas, focusing primarily on poverty
and farmland issues. His pieces, though thought provoking to the
viewers, are either a grotesque take on reality or portray a certain
beauty which he has the ability to capture and create from the use of
damaged objects and distorted materials.

Not only has Tallur’s
work been exhibited all over the world, but he is also the winner of
multiple prestigious awards. These include the Emerging Artist Award
from Bose Pacia Gallery, New York, in 1999, and the Sanskriti Award from
the Sanskriti Foundation, New Delhi, in 2003. His paintings have been
displayed in solo and group exhibitions in India and other countries
including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, China, Cuba, South
Korea and Canada. Tallur currently lives and works between India and
South Korea.

In
2005, Wei CHEN made a successful debut with My Way, a series of painted
boxes, in Archeology of the Future: the Second Triennial of Chinese
Art, Nanjing. For her, the imagery in her painting is but the carrier of
delicate human feelings.

CHEN regards herself as a visual
“omnivore.” Keen on traditional culture and crafts, she makes attempts
on bringing forth new artwork by combining these cherished objects. The
Salt City, an artwork exhibited in the 9th Shanghai Biennale 2012, is a
large-scale complex installation coming of her continual attempts. The
Salt City represents a starting point from which CHEN entered upon a new
phase of her life as artist. She is in the hope of dissolving the clear
lines of demarcations between different art forms.It is Chen’s ambition
to be a pioneer who would bridge the gap between traditional and
contemporary arts.

Singapore.

Ms. Wong’s work spans many disciplines and includes
painting, sculpture, collage, photography and installation. There have
been three major areas of research through her artistic practice: one
with a wry sense of humor, she creates work, which contextualizes her
personal histories and relationships in an art historical context, one
around the notion of architectural use of space and its meanings,
connecting to the concepts hierarchical dominance and structures, the
other being everyday life and its connection with the rationale of the
real versus fake.

brilliant humour, a clear aesthetic language, and with an outspoken and
provocative critical attitude Şener Özmen questions the certainty of
existing conditions and situations, authoritarian structures and
existing taboos. His subtle and poetic works focus our attention not
only on the perception and the changes in the context of art, but refer
mainly to the critical problems of social reality in which the artist

Lieko Shiga

Born 1980 in Aichi Prefecture (Japan), based in Miyagi Prefecture (Japan).
Shiga went to Britain in 1999 and graduated from Chelsea College of Art
and Design in London in 2004. Shiga has captured people's attention with
her powerful, structured photography, which draws images from the
darkness that exist as latent potential in her subjects and in the land,
and with the way her distinctive pictures seem to generate light in
that darkness.
In 2007 she spent a year in London on an Agency for Cultural Affairs
program for artists to pursue further studies overseas. And she won the
Kimura Ihei Award for photography in 2008 for her series "Lilly" and
"Canary" (both released in 2007). The Infinity Award for young
photographer of the year followed in 2009, from the New York
International Center for Photography. On her return to Japan, she took
up residence in the Kitakama district of Natori, Miyagi, where she
operated locally, recording the festivals and other events. She also
started building up an oral history of the area. Her solo exhibition
'Rasen Kaigan' at Mediatheque, Sendai, offering a comprehensive display
of her four years of experimentation in Kitakama won acclaim in 2012-13.
Before its opening, Shiga also broke new ground by giving a series of
10 lectures in person about her photography, and they have been
published together under the title "Rasen Kaigan Notebook" (2013).

Motoi Yamamoto

He
was born in Onomichi, Hiroshima in 1966 and received his BA from
Kanazawa College of Art in 1995. He was awarded the Philip Morris Art
Award in 2002 as well as the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2003.

Motoi
is known for working with salt, often in the form of temporary,
intricate, large-scale installations. He uses salt to create mental
maps, miniatures of the mind. Yet, in his case, he doesn't seem to
choose materials merely for the sake of novelty or originality. Motoi
forged a connection to the substance while mourning the death of his
sister, at the age of twenty-four, from brain cancer, and began to
create art out of salt in an effort to preserve his memories of
her.Salt, a traditional symbol for purification and mourning in Japanese
culture, is used in funeral rituals and by sumo wrestlers before
matches. It is frequently placed in small piles at the entrance to
restaurants and other businesses to ward off evil spirits and to attract
benevolent ones.

His art radiates an intense beauty and tranquility, but also conveys something ineffable, painful, and endless.

An
important aspect of the installation is the dismantling of his work at
the end of each show and delivering the salt back to water, usually in
collaboration with the public.

Motoi says, “Drawing a labyrinth
with salt is like following a trace of my memory.Memories seem to change
and vanish as time goes by; however, what I seek is to capture a frozen
moment that cannot be attained through pictures or writings.What I look
for at the end of the act of drawing could be a feeling of touching a
precious memory.”

Falke Pisano

Falke Pisano (Amsterdam, 1978) lives and works in Berlin. Her diagrammatic
works expose a loop, in which shifting abstract sculptural forms are
conceived directly in relation to written and spoken language, implying
an ongoing and morphing production of meaning.
In the publication ‘’Figures of Speech’’ (designed and co-edited by Will
Holder, published by JRP-Ringier, Christoph Keller Editions, 2010)
Pisano brought together her work focusing on the act of speech in
relation to different forms of agency in artistic production. The artist
second cycle of works (2011-) “The Body in Crisis” consists of a series
of propositions and inquiries that look at the body in crisis as an
ongoing event.
Pisano's solo exhibitions include Hollybush Gardens (London, 2012), De
Vleeshal (Middelburg, 2012), CAC (with Benoît Maire, Vilnius, 2011),
Transmission Gallery (Glasgow, 2010), Extra City (Antwerp, 2010),

West is influenced by classical structuralist film,
urban mythology and popular culture, combining everyday actions and
materials to create hypnotic, fast paced films. Performance is as
essential to West’s practice as the material composition – united to not
only construct the work itself, but also provide a conceptual context.
The titles are similarly important. They denote the specific components,
activities and participants involved in making the respective film,
decipher the enigmatic imagery for the viewer and become evidence of the
event/action. Her solo exhibitions include High Line Art, New York, NY
(2012); S1 Artspace, Sheffield, England (2012); Vilma Gold, London
(2011/2008); Marc Foxx Gallery, Los Angeles (2011/2009/2007);

Jarbas Lopes

JARBAS
LOPES finds the materials for his artworks in everyday life contexts:
seemingly trivial objects become the starting point for an investigation
into its functions and symbolic language.

In doing so, his
works enter into a dialogue with public and social spaces: Lopes is
primarily concerned with the idea of accessibility of aesthetic
experience and social interaction.

However, Jarbas Lopes does
not act as a political artist but rather as an artist who produces art
in a political manner: his work is centered on the question how the
people shape a society.

Graduated in Fine Arts by the UFRJ Fine
Arts School, Jarbas exhibitions in Brazil and abroad very often. Among
many exhibitions, the flowing should be highlighted: “Off the grid”,
Lehmann Maupin, New York (2002); 8th Havana Biennial (2003), “Gambiarra -
New Art from Brazil”, London (2003) and .the 27° São Paulo Biennial
(2006). His works have been acquired by the following collections: Tate
Modern, London; MoMA, New York and Inhotim, Minas Gerais.

itself,emphasizing the instrumental action of various mechanisms and
ways ofpower over the public imagination.

"Born in Greece and raised in Athens Maro Michalakakos dividing her life
between the Hellenic world and France.She became known through a
substantial body of work in which figures or themes abound that are
invariably in a new state of tension :men and women ,the protective
domestic interior and painful intimacy ,love and submission ,the bond
and the shackle .Woven of family memories ,cultural references and
erotic residual images.Michalakakos aim is to use the principle of
figurative allusion:no description,no frontal statement and even less
slogans.the artist universe is more given to creations on the edge of
dreams ,filled with an apparent calm,intentionally positioned midway
between reality and the imaginary dimension."

Liz Deschenes

“Liz Deschenes is a photographer who, in the best modernist tradition,
pushes against the basic terms by which photography is conventionally
defined: instantaneity, veracity, fixity, or reproducibility,” writes
curator and critic Matthew Witkovsky. Indeed, Deschenes uses durational
photogramatic exposure to create unique, shifting surfaces that
frequently function as sculptural or architectural rather than
photographic objects. Deschenes stages the technical components of
photography, both contemporary and anachronistic, while reflecting,
compressing, and assessing the architectural settings that surround
them, through her mirrors’ simultaneous repopulation and evacuation of
these spaces.
In her earlier work, Deschenes utilized landscape images as an entry
point to address self-reflexive concepts of the medium. Her Elevations
series utilized the rich and dense dye transfer color printing
reminiscent of the golden age of Technicolor films, a process
discontinued by Kodak in 1993. The project staged the seven standard
colors developed by cartographers to represent ranges of the earth’s
elevation to produce a gradation of corresponding monochrome
photographs. Deschenes’ Blue and Green Screens foregrounded the
invisible screens typically used as the invisible basis for special
effects and absent background imagery. In her Moiré series, Deschenes
photographed a sheet of perforated paper filtering the light coming
through a window, and superimposed the ensuing negative with a duplicate
on an enlarger to create an abstract, moiré pattern image. The result
is an optically oscillating, dazzling body of work grounded in the
manipulation of a single negative.
In her most recent work, Deschenes exposes photographic paper to the
night sky, develops it, and fixes the photogram with silver toner,
creating misty silver surfaces brindled with slight changes in hue –
affected either by exposure to ambient light, or the hand-application of
the toner itself. After the photogramatic process creates these unique
and varied surfaces, the works are mounted on aluminum or Dibond. Some
of these photograms remain unframed and tend to oxidize over time,
further problematizing the role of the photograph as fixed image on
surface. Instead, purged of representational content, the photograph
functions as an object that records how it has been, and continues to
be, acted upon. The series originated with Tilt / Swing, an installation
of six such “silver mirror” panels arranged in a 360-degree
floor-to-ceiling configuration at Miguel Abreu Gallery, based on a
diagram that 20th Century architect, designer, and artist Herbert Bayer
drew to accompany his essay The Fundamentals of Exhibition Design. In
her second iteration of the Tilt / Swing installation, the photographic
panels were fully exposed to daylight, and brought to black in the
development stage. Deschenes‘ subsequent individual silver and black
mirror works stage the same time-based photographic processes in an
energetic rather than taxidermic language, allowing variations in
framing and size to act in myriad ways upon the surrounding conditions
of display.
Liz Deschenes was born in 1966 in Boston, MA, and graduated from the
Rhode Island School of Design in 1988. Deschenes teaches at Bennington
College, and is a visiting artist at Columbia University, School of
Visual Arts, Yale University and Bard College. Among others, her work is
in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the
Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Art
Institute of Chicago.
In 2012, Deschenes exhibited her new work in a solo exhibition at the
Secession, Vienna. Her work was included in the Whitney Biennial 2012,
and in Parcours, a two-person exhibition at The Art Institute of Chicago
that she collaboratively curated with Florian Pumhösl and Matthew
Witkovsky. In 2011, she participated in The Anxiety of Photography at
the Aspen Art Museum; If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home By Now, organized
by Josiah McElheny, Tom Eccles, and Lynne Cooke, at the CCS Bard Hessel
Museum, along with participations in group exhibitions at Klosterfelde,
Berlin, Musée Juif Belgique, Brussels, and the Bergen Kunsthall,
Norway. Deschenes was previously included in Color Chart, curated by Ann
Temkin, at The Museum of Modern Art and Tate Liverpool, and in
Photography on Photography: Reflections on the Medium since 1960 at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her work has been exhibited at, among
others, The Drawing Center, New York, the Walker Art Center, the Langen
Foundaiton, Düsseldorf, and the New Museum. Tilt/Swing was Deschenes’
second solo exhibition at Miguel Abreu Gallery in May 2009.

and Samuel Beckett. He has experimented with elements of visual art,
music, and theatre and considers himself mainly a performance artist.
His work is characterized by the tragicomic spectacle of human
experience where sorrow collides with happiness, horror with beauty, and
drama with humor. Repetition and ritual feature prominently in
Ragnarsson´s work – his performances share a structure that has been
characterized as ´live loop´.

Amílcar Packer

Amilcar Packer was born in Santiago de Chile in 1974 and moved to Brazil in
1982. Currently pursuing a master degree in Clinical Psychology at the
Pontificia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, he graduated in
philosophy by the University of São Paulo. Packer carries a working
practice which shifts, subverts and re-contextualizes everyday objects,
architecture and the human body in actions often performed by the artist
and usually presented in photographies, videos and installations. His
work operates on the organization of the world as language where art
points to the possibility of intervention on life modes, renewal of
modalities of seizure and constant questioning of patterns of behavior.
While investigating the possibilities for the production of diference
and subjectivity resistance and friction, emerges the possibility to
face hegemonic and homogenizing historical, political and social
structures that rigidly determine individuals. In recent years, he
developed and organized presentations and meetings involving reading
formats, workshops and urban intrerventions, talks, walks and meals.
Since January 2013, works as co-director of Brazilian internationa
residency program CAPACETE Entretenimentos.

Kevin Simon Mancera

I got my arts degree five years ago here in Bogotá, since then, drawing and
publications has become the most frecuent tools in my work. I titled my degree
work: A Hundred Things i Hate. I drew with all my love the things i most used
to hate on these days. That proyect marked the path I would follow after. At the
same time, i was working in a series of drawings that together make a sort of
emotional diary compiling the own and others misery.
Those early works were driven by my own emotions and my particular way of
relating to the surrounding. Then my interest turned in dictionaries, biographies
of losers, stories, travels, and maps.
My last project, which I presented this year, was named: La Felicidad, which
translate The Happiness, was born in the library one of those afternoons with
me getting lost between maps and dictionaries. In the middle of my search, I
found a group of cities in Latin America named Felicidad (Happiness), after a
long process and a lot of arrangements, I begun my expedition by land trying
to find these places, while I was drawing and photographing interesting things
that I was finding along the journey. After my came back, the project ended in
one book with all the drawings I made during the trip around Latin America, and
I also showed the seven pictures taken in each of the final destinations were
called Happiness.

Angélica Teuta

Angélica Teuta is an artist living and working in Bogotá, Colombia. Her work
challenges the notion of a "learned" condition and attempts to contrast
this against how one is accustomed to experiencing this reality. We
rarely inquire about our conditioning, and we have a passive attitude
towards our experiences and memories. Teuta's work summons the question
"why".
In her installations, Teuta is looking for a perceptual experience using
space and resources such as light, mechanisms, basic technologies,
recycled objects and information. The artistic result is an expansion of
space and time to affect perception.
Languages of Birds and RE quest /RE place are her last project showed at
Art Gallery of York University and Canada's 25th Images Festival in
Toronto, Canada. Also, she did a site-specific installation in her own
home. Teuta also participated in group exhibitions in Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Colombia, Indonesia,, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States,
Costa Rica and Turkey. Her installations have been reviewed in various
publications including Artforum and Artnexus.
In May, 2013, Teuta will be presenting a solo exhibition at
Fotogalleriet in Oslo, Norway.

response to experience. Her projects often rely on the collection and
archival reorganization of material gathered in various contexts outside
the conventional art world. She produces works that generally take the
form of actions, objects, images and documentation. Other aspects of her
research involve performance pieces that explore the ways in which art
is created and received through constraints - like blindness, limiting
garments, suppression of the face - that create a state of dispossession
and loss.Raphaëlle de Groot presents her work actively since 1997. She
has acquired valuable collaboration experiences with, among others, the

Zin Taylor

Zin Taylor (1978, Calgary, Canada)
Canadian-born, Brussels-based artist Zin Taylor has become known
internationally for his elaborate installations encompassing elements of
performance and sculpture along with drawing, photography, and video,
Taylor’s work revisits the process, construction and inscription of form
through specific cultural histories. In the words of curator Dieter
Roelstraete, his works “signal a definite shift toward a fundamental
interrogation of sculpture’s basic language, if not of the very
assumptions that underlie the enterprise of sculpture and art as such.
How do forms come about? Do materials have a will of their own, content
to speak through Zin Taylor’s hands as long as he’s able to give voice
to matter’s inner thought?”
His multifaceted works are often culled from the undergrowth of popular
culture (especially the underground music scene) and contemporary art
lore. The spoken and printed word in all its forms - journalism,
research, storytelling - figures prominently in Taylor's practice, and
many of his installations have also been accompanied by publications
and/or artist books.
Zin Taylor lives and works in Brussels since 2008. Recent solo
exhibitions include The Ceremony & The Spirit (with Roe Ethridge),
La Loge, Brussels (2013); Art Statements, Art Basel (2012); The Story of
Stripes and Dots, MuHKA, Antwerp; The Flute of Sub, The Artist's
Institute, New York; Growth, KIOSK, Gent; The Units, Ursula Blickle
Stiftung, Kraichtal (all 2011); The Bakery of Block (first arrangement) -
Front room - Contemporary Art Museum St Louis (2009); The Crystal Ship,
BELvue Museum & Etablissement d’en Face Projects, Brussels (2008).
Selected group exhibitions include Melanchotopia, Witte de With,
Rotterdam (2011); Architectooralooral, 1857, Oslo (2010); Triumphant
Carrot: The Persistence of Still Life, Contemporary Art Gallery,
Vancouver (2009), amongst many others.
Zin Taylor is represented by Galerie VidalCuglietta, Brussels; Jessica
Bradley Gallery, Toronto; and Supportico Lopez, Berlin.
